Trip to the swamps

Estonian swamps are great for hiking and picking berries

Estonian swamps are great for hiking and picking berries but can be quite dangerous for inexperienced people. Never hike in a swamp alone and consider taking a guide. The best place to visit the swamps is Soomaa National Park where they cover the majority of the park. The peat layer is up to 7 metres in some places.

The thickest peat layer — 17m — is recorded in Vällämäe bog near in the south east. Swamps like this don\\\'t exist anywhere else in Europe.
